Young Consumers of the Year competition

The competition is both educational and fun and whilst helping students to develop their personal life skills it also gives them a practical understanding of their consumer rights and encourages them to become confident consumers.

The quiz tests their knowledge on a wide range of subjects, such as consumer law, food and health, safety and the environment, managing money and finance, credit and the European dimension.

We are now inviting teams of four students to participate in the 2017 London/Kent competition.
